The international study program introduces students to cities and landscapes very
different from their own, enriching their design vocabulary and deepening their understanding
of other cultures. In addition to the semester of international study, which is required
in the five-year professional degree programs, students may choose to travel with
faculty to significant cities and natural environments throughout the world.
Though any degree in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design requires years
of rigorous study and studio work, some exceptional students seek experiential education
that deepens classroom learning. The school's honors curriculum targets students interested
in independent exploration of topics related to the natural and built environment.
